<v Speaker 3>ain't say nothing. Boy and West Coast guys stick together

0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:31.680
<v Speaker 3>and they're sneaky.

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:32.200
<v Speaker 1>They sneaky.

0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:35.640

<v Speaker 2>Charlamagne, Yeah, we know you joking, you know Charlamage don't

0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:47.640
<v Speaker 2>goddamn it. He hate light skinned people. So had break

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:49.760
<v Speaker 2>down the show last night. I know you were there.

0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 2>We heard the energy we seated online break down the

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:57.320
<v Speaker 2>show and everything how everything came together if you can, hey.

0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 4>Man, listen. I got the call on the bat line

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 4>and they was like pull up and top secret. So

0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:06.120
<v Speaker 4>that is true. I did go to dinner with charlottm Magne.

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.800
<v Speaker 4>We did have a break two day conversation and I

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:10.840
<v Speaker 4>didn't mention none of this because I couldn't. It wasn't

0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:14.640
<v Speaker 4>my place too, But it was a beautiful show. You know,

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 4>a couple of people that they were questioning as far

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:19.280
<v Speaker 4>as where these people are. These people are on the road.

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 4>But that's whole point for doing this is to unify

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:28.759
<v Speaker 4>everybody and get everybody together from the southern California perspective

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.000
<v Speaker 4>and all the way up to the top that's coming.

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 4>But right now you've seen what you saw, Now.

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.039
<v Speaker 1>What does that mean for la head? Like, like, what

0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:39.280
<v Speaker 1>did that mean last night?

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 3>That picture that all of y'all took at the end,

0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 3>what's the significance of that?

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.680
<v Speaker 4>Well, the thing is, our politics is a lot different

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 4>than anywhere else in the country. So when you see

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 4>certain things like that, that's not normal. When you see

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 4>certain clicks, crew sections, certain people, a collection of people,

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 4>especially people that were on my set. You know a

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 4>lot of people from different sections that don't necessarily collaborate

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 4>with other sections. So for us to be able to

0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 4>do that, shout out to all of the homies and

0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:10.080
<v Speaker 4>the homegirls. But you know, for holding it down when

0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.119
<v Speaker 4>we're having rehearsals, I just kind of huddled everybody up

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.960
<v Speaker 4>and was like, look, bro, I know where y'all from.

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 4>I know where you're from. But the next ten, the

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.640
<v Speaker 4>next week, we're doing this like we all in the

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 4>same game. And so everybody got on the cord and

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 4>it was beautiful.

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Bro, Well, hold on, let's let's talk to some let's

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 2>talk to DJ Had some more when we come back.

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Eight hundred and five eight five one on five to one. Djhad,

0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 2>of course, he was one of Kendrick Lamore's friends performing

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 2>on that stage last night. He opened it up.

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.800
<v Speaker 1>We had had his own set, had set a different artist.

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Now now I got an ass head was performing not

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:45.640
<v Speaker 2>like us six times part of it? Or was it

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:47.240
<v Speaker 2>just a feeling because it just felt like it was

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.080
<v Speaker 2>just such an amazing feeling, like he just had to

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.160
<v Speaker 2>do it over and over and over again.

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:53.520
<v Speaker 4>I didn't know.

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 1>I didn't.

0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 4>Now Here's the thing. I knew about my set. I

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 4>only knew about a couple of things on his set,

0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 4>but a lot of stuff we didn't know, Like it

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 4>was kind of compartmentalized. I had a lot to worry

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.040
<v Speaker 4>about from my set. It was a lot to wrangle everybody,

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.760
<v Speaker 4>and you know, be a contributor, So I didn't really

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 4>pay attention to what he was doing for his rehearsals

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.120
<v Speaker 4>and his sets and stuff like that. So it was

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:15.520
<v Speaker 4>a surprise to me, and I think it was off

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:16.160
<v Speaker 4>pure energy.

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 3>Honestly, man, you had me googling a bunch of artists

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.240
<v Speaker 3>last night ahead I told you this. I was googling

0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.080
<v Speaker 3>people because there was a lot of these people that

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:26.800
<v Speaker 3>you brought out I had never heard of.

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 1>But they had some slaps.

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 4>Hey, slappers, blaffers, and blammers. That's all We're doing, joints

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 4>and jams for the rest of twenty twenty four. That's

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.040
<v Speaker 4>what you're gonna get from the West. Slappers, flappers, blamers,

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 4>joints and jams. Envy, I need that in the People's

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 4>Choice Mixed.

0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I like Gray Bond and I like all them dudes.

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 1>That was flamed up. Dude, what's that? What's they called.

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 4>You talking about? The homie jay Worthy and the wolves?

0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 1>They called me wos Yes, sir.

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah they are. You know, you had his old

0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 4>so I'm gonna do his thing, kleb for real, for real,

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:00.920
<v Speaker 4>cheap rio. It was a bunch of people on there

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 4>that I'm sure, like a lot of people wasn't familiar

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.480
<v Speaker 4>with and they were just learning in real time like you.

0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 2>I was going to ask, you know, with all those

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.760
<v Speaker 2>different artists from so many different hoods and so many

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 2>different sets, how do you keep the peace like that?

0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 2>Because you know, you know how it is. Last night,

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 2>it's all peaceful, and then tomorrow we go back to

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:18.919
<v Speaker 2>the block and things never change. So how do we

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.240
<v Speaker 2>make sure that it remains like that?

0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think you have to leave by example. You know,

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:29.479
<v Speaker 4>Charlotte Maine always tell me the best apology has changed behavior.

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 4>So I think the best way we can do that

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.279
<v Speaker 4>for ourselves has changed the behavior that we've seen in

0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 4>the past, where we return to those to return to

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 4>that negative energy. And so I think from now till

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 4>for the foreseeable future, you're going to see a lot

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 4>more collaborations. Even after the cameras went off, you know,

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 4>the Homies was in the parking lot, like, yo, man,

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 4>maybe we can do a feature, Maybe we can do this.

0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, we never thought about collaborating before because this

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:55.360
<v Speaker 4>person is from the other side of the track. So

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.040
<v Speaker 4>it was just a beautiful thing to see.

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 3>Well, hey man, I told you, man, the West deserved it,

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, y'all, y'all deserved that moment and I'm glad

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 3>that y'all.

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Put on for the city the way that y'all did yesterday.

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:11.600
<v Speaker 3>And I was I was even saying this weekend when

0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:13.839
<v Speaker 3>I was out there, it felt like that wasn't a

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 3>concert for outsiders, Like it felt like.

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:19.560
<v Speaker 1>We were supposed to watch it at home on Amazon.

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 3>It felt so la, so West Coast, so Inglewood, so comptent,

0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:26.919
<v Speaker 3>so watched like that moment was for y'all.

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:28.400
<v Speaker 1>And I'm glad the world got to see that.

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.960
<v Speaker 4>Man, absolutely what man, I am too. I appreciate y'all

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:33.760
<v Speaker 4>supporting us. You know what I'm saying, West Coast?

0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Now, had I got to ask one last question. Now

0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 2>we're seeing everything that went down like we've seen it

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 2>with Nas and j. We've seen it with fifty in

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.839
<v Speaker 2>Fat Joe, We've seen it with Beanie Siegel and Jady

0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:47.320
<v Speaker 2>Kiss back in the day. We seen it with t

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.919
<v Speaker 2>I and a bunch of other people. Do you think

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 2>that Drake No, and I'm not asking you no. Do

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:57.920
<v Speaker 2>you think Drake and Kendrick could ever be gold and cordial? Again?

0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Do you think you don't want that? I'm not talking you.

0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:02.359
<v Speaker 1>You hate light skin people. I'm asking light skinned people

0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.920
<v Speaker 1>want that? Only the brigade wants that you don't want

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 1>to ask it.

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm just asking you ever think that they could happen,

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:09.000
<v Speaker 2>that they could be cool again, that.

0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:13.039
<v Speaker 1>We don't want to be around you beage niggas. No, you.

0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.600
<v Speaker 4>Let me. Okay, I'm gonna answer that question. Answer that question,

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:23.039
<v Speaker 4>what as you want? Is it possible for a country

0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:26.839
<v Speaker 4>ass Negro from Month's Corner, South Carolina, with a list

0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 4>to talk for a living and being a radio hall

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:29.160
<v Speaker 4>of fame.

0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:32.080
<v Speaker 1>It's possible.

0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:33.960
<v Speaker 2>It's a slim chance, but it was possible.

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 4>That's my answer.

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:39.960
<v Speaker 1>So it's possible. I hope not. I don't want to

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:40.240
<v Speaker 1>see that.

0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 3>That was one of the things that I was worried

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.479
<v Speaker 3>about last night, that Kendrick might have went to go

0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 3>see his therapist. Kendrick might have went to go see

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 3>his spiritual adviser, and he might have came out there

0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:53.320
<v Speaker 3>and chose peace. When he started with euphoria, I was like, oh, yeah,

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.000
<v Speaker 3>dot this yeah, yes.

0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.360
<v Speaker 4>Well yeah, I mean, this is this is him just

0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.279
<v Speaker 4>you know, staking his claim. I heard you say earlier,

0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 4>you know, undisputed, you know, taking this crown. I told

0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:07.640
<v Speaker 4>him that, you know, before the show, we was talking

0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.880
<v Speaker 4>and I was like, bro, don't run away from it,

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 4>lean into it.

0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:12.240
<v Speaker 1>On it.

0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 4>This is your ship. And he's like, yeah, I'm on

0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 4>it all right.

0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, the one thing I heard you say it earlier,

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 3>but you said Snoop was on tour. That's why he

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.520
<v Speaker 3>wasn't there. You didn't say it nowhere.

0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.640
<v Speaker 4>I don't know. I don't know where Snoop is, but

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.480
<v Speaker 4>I know like when I asked, like where certain people where,

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.640
<v Speaker 4>there's like, oh, certain people's on the road. It wasn't.

0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:31.320
<v Speaker 4>It wasn't down who told me. It was just other

0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 4>people who was working. I was like, Yo, we're on
